A Flock of Fools
Here lies in wait a flock of fools
All keen and primed to mock and sneer

That offers its support in times of stress.
What will dissipate the mist and enable us to see
The glory and the constancy of truth?
Will we listen to that message, or mock with childish glee
That its courier is brazen or uncouth? Continue reading
